    Short answer

    The City of Tampere announced in August 2025 that ticket inspectors on Nysse buses and trams would also begin working in plain clothes, while uniformed inspectors would carry on as before. Ticket inspection on Nysse is an official duty of the City of Tampere, so the inspectors act as public authorities. The city noted that ticket inspections had not been needed in Tampere for very long.
